Invite me, i'll come. just joking. In all seriousness. Invite your friends. You have your partner's family in your wedding so technically it's not an empty wedding. I know how you feel. That's one of the things I worry about whenever someone asks me about my future wedding. Also one of the reasons I don't wanna get married. I only have my uncle and aunty. Those 2 are the only family I invite. If in future (if i even get married and my current ldr lasts) I'm not sure how to invite them over to another country. Or would they even consider coming... You're not alone. Feel free to talk yeah :)

I think weddings are unnecessary. If you want to celebrate with other people, invite a few to the courthouse and have a party at your house. Marriage is what's important. Not the wedding or how many guests you have.
